I hope you are not looking for those numbers to the WHEEL… Crank Hp number may be able to hit that with a T28… but a T25? That is not realistic And what kind of power are you looking for, peakier? or smooth? I’d recommend a smaller ball bearing turbo, like the one mentioned above. I personally am running a SlowBoy Racing GT-12, it’s a ball bearing hybrid turbo. ---

my 280zx had a T3… quick spool and lots of power even at 6psi. a T3 or T3/T4 hybrid would be nice. i dont know if it would bolt up to the CA manifold tho. ---

It wouldn’t bolt up. T25/T28 is the same flange which is what the CA has. Go with the GT2871. To make 400rwhp you’re looking at a ton of work. Thought it’s definately possible. ---

… T25-30, 1/2 the price of the HKS with more power. uses a T25-( T28 non or BB avaiable ) with a 300Z super 60 Hi-po ( Nissans custom housing and compressor AR for fast flow ) Thier isn’t a turbo out there that can touch it for under 2x the cost. if your on a CA18 then a t25 turbine side would be the way to go… Another option is a striaght T03 with a GTP trim 1/3 the cost of a HKS with only minor mods to the header flange and DP flange, make more power, at a lower RPM with a lighter rotating assembly. BB is only 8% faster once the wet bering from a normal T series is broken in. However wet bering can be rebuilt with a $80kit, BB is a throw away core. Just a few things to be aware of… I can get both easily so it’s not a bias on my part… just a design chioce. ---

Lets be honest here. You buy a brand new turbo which is good for 100,000km at LEAST well maintained. there is no reason the turbo will need a rebuild and the amount of people on this board that will have the same turbo setup for 100,000km is probobly 1 of every 300. We go through cars and motors like its our job. I wouldn’t worry about thinking about rebuilding a turbo when you’re buying one brand new, just take care of it. If it gets hot let it cool down, always change your oil, you know the basic stuff. ---
